Traveling with your loved one is absolutely possible! With a little pre-planning and support, make it a goal to get out and make memories. Your trips may look a little different than you originally thought they would but learn to enjoy the small moments and claim the smiles as victories! Here are some tips for traveling safer and better prepared.
Pre-Planning Tips:
Choose a family member to plan with you. Two minds are better than one
Book non-stop travel for flights and arrange assistance
Look for senior discounts- senior benefits, shorter lines
Travel Insurance: in case of injury or illness
Travel midday to avoid crowds and traffic: Shoulder Season
Don’t over schedule yourself. Space things out
Don’t advertise your absence on social media or with a lot of people
Let trusted folks know your itinerary.
Pack Light, fewer things-lighter bags
Book ground floor level or near elevators
Bus tours and travel packages do the planning for you!
Travel Tips:
Don’t travel alone and stay together!
Consider cruising: all inclusive, excursions are pre-arranged, limited mobility
Bring medications in bags
Don’t bring expensive jewelry, or cameras
Wear loose, layered clothing
Comfortable shoes for walking and standing
Stay hydrated, be cautious about food sources
Stay active to avoid blood clots and rest each day
Avoid Subways, use taxis and buses
Don’t forget to be the light to the world, wherever you go!
Darby Dreger-Tracey
Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Darby is a 4th generation Atlantan. She has spent over 23 years serving in the senior living industry. Her passion for serving others began in college, where she spent time volunteering in the local nursing homes and care communities.
She quickly recognized the deep need for compassionate giving, advocacy, and equipping families with resources and options.
Darby received a BS degree in Recreation Therapy from Georgia Southern University and went on to apply her degree in the senior living setting. When she is not serving families at Senior Provisions, she serves on the Belief in Action/Missions committee at church, volunteers at Trinity Table Ministries in downtown Atlanta, and volunteers with the Sandy Springs Mission focusing on at-risk children.
“My joy comes from guiding families to a place of peace and comfort that they experience, as they realize they have made a well informed and educated decision regarding the care and well being of their loved one.”
